The Nightmare Before Christmas

[Randall]

It's still hard to beat the huge laserdisc set, which included all of the DVD extras, a hardcover book, plus Selick's MTV work. Given that I have the LD, I've never purchased the DVD. I'd love to see it on BluRay, though!

[Ben]

I'm with Rand...that LD set does for me (even though one of the documentary sides is slowly rotting).

I didn't get the DVD, but all the stuff is there for them to put out a stunning 2-disc edition, with Vincent and Frankenweenie, etc. The book would have to go unless they did a smaller reprint/condensed version in a gift set, but certainly the content is there for a very nice set.

Of course there are many retrospective things they could now include too, as well as using the remastered version of the movie.

I wouldn't put it past anyone to be coming up with a 15th Anniversary DVD and Blu-Ray edition...Disney likes their 15th Anniversaries, it seems!

[Once Upon A Dream]

Well,iif they will release a 15th Anniversary Edition i"ll buy it .
Is it true that there's a deleted sence that show that Dr. Finkelstin was Oogie Boogie? .

[Vernadyn]

Yes.

Though I can see why they took it out...way too contradictory.

[Once Upon A Dream]

Can you tell me what happing in it? .

[Vernadyn]

I can't get my DVD right now, so I'll have to resort to quoting IMDB (under "Alternate Versions"). It's a run-on sentence, but as I recall, it pretty much describes what happens in the scene.

The alternate identity of Oogie Boogie where it's not a bunch of bugs but Dr. Finklestein (the mad scientist), he said he became Oogie Boogie because Sally was in love with Jack even though he created her and as Oogie Boogie he'd give her a lesson she's [sic] never forget, Finklestein then mentions a creation that will like him and with Igor's help he escapes through a trap door, this segment ends with Jack saying "i can't believe this".

Overall, I remember the scene feeling very forced.

[Once Upon A Dream]

Thanks for the info sounds creepy.

[Daniel]

Yeah, creepy, but at the same time kind of cool.

Here's an interview regarding Nightmare that was posted on the front page. Small, but very interesting.

[Meg]

A couple of friends and I are going to try and go see this on Friday...I haven't watched it since I was a little tyke, so I really don't remember what happens - which means I'll enjoy it all the more, hopefully!

[Daniel]

Hope it works out, Meg!

I"m so exited I"ll defintly buy the DVD version ,The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorites Disney films .
Next year will be perfact-Sleeping Beauty and The Nightmare Before Christmas .

[Randall]

THIS is the Blu-ray I've been waiting for! I'm sure it'll look spectacular. I love this film.

It's been on DVD on a loaded disc already (largely replicating the huge laserdisc set, minus the full-size book and some Selick shorts), so I doubt the new edition will have much more to offer. Disney will just spread the special features onto a second disc now, giving the video on the feature more bit-time. They have promised "exciting new features" for the Blu-ray, but that'll likely just be useless games that few wil care about. Still, especially as I never upgraded to DVD from the LD, this'll be a sure purchase for me.

[Once Upon A Dream]

Well,I don't have the old DVD (What year it was released by the way?) so this DVD will be perfact for me .
It's out in the fall? isn't the fall too busy? (Sleeping Beauty,TinkerBell,WALL-E,etc.).

[Randall]

I assume it`ll be out in time for Halloween, early in the 4th quarter.

Actually, it`s been out on DVD in Region 1 TWICE before--- barebones in 1997, and the 2000 Special Edition with all the bonus features:
